CHICAGO, Feb. 20, 2022 – AbelsonTaylor has hired Jeremy Vannatta, a marketing strategist with strong management and business-development experience in healthcare, as vice president and account director.
Vannatta, who has worked in a broad range of therapeutic categories on both the agency and client sides, will lead a team supporting oncology brands handled by AbelsonTaylor.
